: Right on Shawn, that would be the ticket. Could be quite a mess to deal with,

Exactly--sounds like you have it figured out!

:Sounds
: like something somebody else should try!

It's really easy, actually. A food vacuum bagger would work fine, but I'd recommend a resin trap between the bag and the vacuum, just in case you ever want to use it for food again.

: I like the dynel after it is all done, very tough stuff, good for abrasive
: protection.

Its application is tricky, especially for hand layups. I would guess that's why it hasn't really caught on with homebuilders.
